Daddy Dragon's World - The Original

The End... Literally, well, kind of. (Part 2)

Narrator's P.O.V

Ray woke up, it was quiet, Dean's regular snoring was no where to be heard and Fabania was disturbingly silent... and she didn't like one second of it. Sure she was on his side, but that doesn't change the fact the silence meant her emotional support Spade was probably deceased.

She got up, walking onto the balcony and looking over Fabania, and that's when she heard a strangely familiar voice... Ray rushed down to the dungeon. "Spade?" She looked through the iron bars. "King Julien?..." and just like that, Ray swirled on her heels and left Spade there to pretend to be Mort in her solitude.

Ranch coughed, slowly opening her eyes. She had been able to hold her breath and swim out of sight from the dragon, but after running that far, she was out of energy. She rose to her feet on a beach, it seemed like she was still on the main island where the town of Fabania was located, she could see the silhouette of DD's castle in the far distance, but the beast was no where in sight.

Ranch let out a relieved sigh, taking a few deep breaths and starting her walk back into town. She was careful not to be seen and was soon at her house. She grabbed her backup armor and tools and sat down to plan. "Where the hell is Sunflower when you need her" she muttered, sighing as only silence answered.

"Okay it's too hot in here" Sunflower groaned as she got up and walked towards the door. For once, Tarter didn't put up a fight and just followed her out, she obviously agreed. The Cold chill that met them when they exited the chamber and stepped into the cloudy sunlight felt like heaven and they both took a long, deep inhale of the fresh oxygen.

"We should go see if Ranch is home, she mostly knows what to do sometimes" Tarter said as they walked down the path, looking over to Sunflower who stared at her feet as she walked, hands in her pocket and a blank stare plastered on her face. "Yeah sure." Tarter looked up at the clear sky, she didn't know where the purple eyed beast was, she didn't really want to find out in all honesty.

The world, which was normally alive with rabbits, livestock, and birds was quiet and the only sound was the crunching of dirt below their shoes as they made their way towards Ranch's house.

Tarter grabbed the door knob and tried to push the door which was obviously a pull and getting angy when it didn't open. Sunflower sighed and pushed her out of the way, opening the door effortlessly.

Ranch whirled around in a fighting stance, sword nearly decapitating Sunflower. She let out a deep breath "I was wondering where you two were" lowering her sword and sitting back down. Tarter pushed in front of Sunflowie. "We were in the chambers, have you seen Spade? She stormed out a while ago" Ranch turned around in her chair "No, I've been in here trying to come up with a plan"

Sunflower sat down in one of the chairs at the table, "Here, let me help" she said quietly, picking up a pen and helping to outline and refine Ranch's current progress. Tarter sat watch at the window, her gaze slowly creeping towards the castle. The dragon hadn't shown face yet, she hoped he wouldn't for the rest of the night, the sun was setting over the horizon, Tarter slowly began to doze off..

The Next Morning...

Ray paced around the castle, the beast hadn't been home in a day and she was starting to piece things together. Between what she'd gotten out of Spade (who was now sitting in the living room reading) and what she discovered by looking outside, she knew DD had decided to make one last stand, and she knew exactly what she had to do to regain the other player's trust and end this for good. Daddy Dragon had to go, for good.

She sat on the couch across from Spade, snapping her fingers to gain her attention. Spade looked up curiously "What?" Ray cleared her throat "I'm putting an end to this, DD went insane, of course I support him and shit, but this has gone on too long and my attention span is almost out." Spade blinked, somewhat surprised at what the person standing in front of her was saying, she loved Daddy Dragon, didn't she? Or was it just another of his hypnotizing spells that was starting to wear off.

She didn't know, she didn't care. Spade put a bookmark in her page and closed the book, leaning forward and resting her head on her hands. "What're you thinking?" She said, cocking her head slightly to the side and staring intently. "I don't want to kill him, but I found this spell from some of the End scrolls he's collected that have a spell for reincarnating into another reality, I wanna put a twist on it and send him somewhere else" Ray stared into the crackling fireplace as she spoke, bright orange flames danced around the reflection in her brown eyes.

3 Hours Later...

Daddy Dragon's P.O.V

With one powerful shove from my wings, I lifted off from my perch on one of the nearby mountains, flying towards Fabania's town center and eventually landing, blowing out a smoky puff of air. Ears twitching, I picked up faint footsteps on the cliff opposite of Ray's house, lifting off again, I flew slowly towards the quiet chattering.

Narrator's P.O.V

He landed about 50 yards behind them, still able to see them clearly, "Them" being Spade, Tarter, Ranch, Sunflower, and Ray. He was confused to see Ray there, he figured she was trying to talk them out of something, but he blinked in shock when he saw she was the one setting an alter up. The large silver pot bubbled brightly as she and Spade added several more ingredients into it.

The beast flew up into the air, releasing a loud roar and diving towards them, Sunflower looked up and shouted, grabbing Tarter and pulling Ranch back out of the way and huddling below a rock on the side of the mountain. Spade and Ray exchanged a silent nod and with a few repeated words, a bright cloud starting rising from the pot.

The dragon slowed his pace, doubt starting to glimmer in his mysterious eyes. The fog had a faint blue tint to it, and soon, it met him in the air, growing thicker until you couldn't see the black silhouette through it. Spade and Ray both stared up, their speech had grown silent and they silently hoped it had worked.

With one final deathly screech, the fog dispersed and in it's place, only thin air was left.

Sunflower, Ranch, and Tarter came out of the spot Spade made for them, deciding it was a great time to celebrate and give both players a figurative pat on the back. Ray inhaled deeply, life had not yet returned to Fabania, birds still hid and it seemed even the wind had taken a break to mourn.

It seemed like the fight had gone on for so long, it didn't make sense that it ended so quick. Ray inhaled deeply, giving Spade a slight smile and walking off. Spade knew better then to try to stop her, so she led Sunflower, Ranch, and Tarter towards town hall to celebrate. Looking over her shoulder one last time and continuing to guide her friends away.

Daddy Dragon was gone, he was another reality's problem now, life was soon to resume it's peaceful daily loop, but things would never be the same. The beast made a change that would stay for eternity, no one would forget him, and as Ray stood on the mountain range alone, in the peace and quiet that accompanied peace, she knew she would never be able to stop thinking about this.

Ray has left the world
